25 25 / Types of Generation Units in EGF Factory Component Composite generation unit with an activity workflow Task Leaf generation unit written in a language (e.g., Java, Ruby) Portfolio Capitalization on a specific generation topic Generation Chain High generation view to organize complex generations EGF Pattern -Description of systematic behavior -For definition of code generation families

26 26 / Introduction EGF Architecture Concepts & Practice Generation Chain Activity Factory Component Task Pattern EGF Portfolios

27 27 / Generation Chain - Objectives Objectives: Definition, at a high level of description, of executable generations Abstraction: encapsulating the irrelevant technical details of generation Simplicity & Efficiency: Reducing the number of clicks (i.e. the number of actions) Only providing the main generation features and next generating

28 28 / Generation Chain - Principles Technical principles: Generation features are captured in a generation chain file An EGF fcore file is produced from the generation chain: it contains the translation of the generation chain into factory components Next, the factory components are transparently executed to produce the expected artifacts It is possible to add customization later a generation with generation chains at the factory component level

29 29 / Instantiation & Customization of Generation Chains Generation Chain Definition Instantiation Generation Factories Reuse Customization Project Context Portfolio

45 45 / Introduction EGF Architecture Concepts & Practice Generation Chain Activity Factory Component Task Pattern EGF Portfolios

46 46 / Pattern Definition Definition A pattern is a solution to a recurrent generation problem Purpose Applying a systematic behavior onto a resource Clearly dissociating the specification (external view) from the implementation (internal view) of the behavior Reusing and customizing a pattern in different contexts Supporting multilingual patterns in order to apply the best programming language to a situation, and then supporting multiparadigm (M2T, M2M, T2M, T2T) Java and Jet are the two first languages supported today

47 47 / Introduction EGF Architecture Concepts & Practice Generation Chain Activity Factory Component Task Pattern Pattern Structure EGF Portfolios

48 48 / Pattern Structure Specification Elements Super- Pattern Type 0..n parameter Pattern delegation Pattern Language 1 nature Parameter: Object type of a query record from a query applied over a resource (e.g., a class from an ecore model, a file of a file directory) Nature: Language used for the pattern implementation (e.g., Java, Jet for model-to-text)

49 49 / Pattern Structure Specification Elements Example EClassifier Gen ECore Resource EClass parameter EClass Gen delegation EStructural Feature Gen Jet nature The EClassGen pattern is applied onto a Ecore resource Objects selected on the ecore resource: EClass instances It specializes the EClassifierGen pattern It applies a model-to-text generation in Jet Its also applies a generation on its features by delegation to the EStructuralFeatureGen pattern

50 50 / Pattern Structure Specification Elements Super- Pattern Constraint 0..1 precondition Type 0..n variable Type 0..n parameter Pattern delegation Pattern Language 1 nature precondition/constraint: constraint to be verified before application variable/type: local variable declaration for the pattern implementation

51 51 / Pattern Structure Specification View Pattern Language Super-pattern Query Parameter

52 52 / Pattern Structure Implementation View Methods which implement the pattern They conform to the pattern language Order to execute the methods header: typically used for the Jet header init: method for pattern initialization (e.g., variable initialization) A method editor allows editing pattern methods

53 53 / Introduction EGF Architecture Concepts & Practice Generation Chain Activity Factory Component Task Pattern Pattern Structure Pattern Execution EGF Portfolios

54 54 / Pattern Execution Big Picture Control Pattern Strategy Way to apply patterns and a resource together Processing List of patterns to be applied For pattern execution, use of the language engine matching the pattern language, e.g. Jet, Java Resource For each pattern, query over a resource, e.g. Model Result Result View Optional - Pattern reporter for the final rendering

55 55 / Pattern Execution Big Picture Processing List of patterns to be applied For pattern execution, use of the language engine matching the pattern language, e.g. Jet, Java Control Pattern Strategy Way to apply patterns and a resource together Example of strategy: Strategy name: Model-driven Strategy Resource type: ecore model Algorithm: for each model element (indepth navigation), apply patterns matching the query parameters Resource For each pattern, query over a resource, e.g. Model Result Result View Optional - Pattern reporter for the final rendering

56 56 / Pattern Strategy Definition: Way to apply patterns against a resource Examples of strategies: Model-driven pattern strategy: in-depth navigation over a model, and for each model element, applying a set of patterns Pattern-driven strategy: for each pattern, applying the pattern for each model element [Data type]-driven strategy: generalization of the approach; instead of model, it could be any type of resource (e.g., file directory) Strategy parameters: Resource visitor: When navigating over a resource, the visitor function specifies how to continue this navigation. Example: considering the sub-classes of the current resource instance.

57 57 / Introduction EGF Architecture Concepts & Practice Generation Chain Activity Factory Component Task Pattern Pattern Structure Pattern Execution Pattern Relationships EGF Portfolios

58 58 / Pattern Relationships Introduction Patterns can be related together (e.g., pattern inheritance, pattern call) The next slides present the different kinds of pattern relationships

59 59 / Pattern Relationships Pattern Inheritance Pattern Delegation Pattern Injection Pattern Callback delegates injects Pattern Substitution substitutes Pattern Merge merges Pattern Comparison

60 60 / Pattern Inheritance Pattern inheritance Case 1. Reuse of super-pattern methods Same mechanism than Class inheritance Selection of methods from the super-pattern hierarchy Example Hello - sayhello - finish Hello World - body Orchestration of HelloWorld

61 61 / Pattern Inheritance Pattern inheritance Case 2. Reuse of super-pattern orchestration Reuse of method and orchestration defined in the super-pattern This abstracts the super-pattern orchestration This avoids rewriting pattern orchestration Just adding the methods of the current pattern Example

62 62 / Pattern Delegation Pattern delegation delegates Case. For Problem decomposition & Reuse of pattern - The same pattern is reused in different pattern contexts - The orchestration of the called pattern is applied - The Pattern caller provides parameter values to the called pattern - The parameter values are statically declared at the pattern definition Example 1 Hello World Hello Friends Example 2 Display EClass Display EAttribute Display Annotations

63 63 / Multilingual Call Pattern delegation delegates Case. Pattern delegation when implementation languages are different This corresponds to a Pattern Delegation where Pattern natures are different. For instance, a Pattern with a Jet nature calls a Pattern with a Java nature in order to differently process the same resource. It is impossible to have different natures in the same Pattern inheritance hierarchy. Example EClass Report Measure EClass Quality

64 64 / Pattern Injection Pattern injection injects Case. Reuse of pattern with a dynamic resolution of the injected context - A Pattern injection corresponds to a Pattern Delegation, but - The parameter values are dynamically set at pattern execution Example In this example, the setupvariable method sets the injection context

65 65 / Pattern Callback Pattern Callback Case 1. Applying a Java call The callback indicates where the callback on a Java Class is applied Example Pattern orchestration Specification of the Java Class in the production plan

66 66 / Pattern Callback Pattern Callback Case 2. Combination with the Pattern Strategy A strategy determines how to apply patterns and how to navigate over a resource. In an orchestration, a callback is the moment before and after a cycle of pattern application, and allows to discriminate the methods to apply before and after it. Example Scenario: The following generation result can be realized with a callback. - The model-driven strategy navigates over the model - There is a pattern for each kind of model element with the following pattern orchestration A generation action is realized before (open) and after (close) the callback. <EPackage name= P > <EClass name= C1 > <EAttribute = A1 > </EAttribute = A1 > </EClass name= C1 > </EPackage name= P > Generation result

67 67 / Pattern Substitution Pattern substitution substitutes Case. Customization of a pattern-based generation - A substitution replaces a pattern by a list of patterns - This list can be empty (for annihilating a pattern), another pattern, or a list of other patterns (for replacing one pattern by several) - This mechanism enables to adapt a generation to a specific context - It is used for definition of families of code generation with patterns For deeper understanding [Tutorial]

68 68 / Pattern Merge Pattern Merge merges Case. Combination of pattern lists - Two patterns lists are merged into one list - Examples: for customization, merging a local substitution with a pattern list in parameter of factory component For deeper understanding EGF Example [Plug-in] org.eclipse.egf.usecase.emf.uc3

69 69 / Pattern Comparison Pattern Comparison Case. Used during pattern edition Face pattern evolution when pattern-based generation scales up - Comparison of patterns in a hierarchy or of cousin patterns Example Scenario: Comparison of super- and child-patterns in the same or different pattern libraries. Below, comparison of body methods of a ChildPattern and its SuperPattern. Possibility of live edition when editing pattern comparison.
